  • UL transmit power power output for UL
  • Control of UL transmit power is a basic element of the wireless communication system.
  • the purpose of controlling UL transmit power is to adjust the magnitude of a received signal in an eNB to an appropriate level. By keeping the magnitude of the received signal proper, unnecessary power consumption in a UE can be prevented and transmission efficiency can be improved through adaptive data transmission rate determination.
  • UL transmit power may be divided into two modes: open loop power control and closed loop power control.
  • Open loop power control includes UL transmit power compensation through estimation of UL signal attenuation by measuring or estimating DL signal attenuation and includes UL transmit power determination considering the amount of radio resources allocated to the UE or the attributes of transmitted data.
  • Closed loop power control includes UL transmit power adjustment using information included in a closed loop power control message received from the eNB.

  • P MAX denotes a maximum transmit power of the UE
  • PL denotes a pathloss estimate of a DL signal
  • ⁇ and A(i) are parameters given according to a higher-layer signal, attributes of transmitted data, the amount of allocated resources, etc., at an i-th time point. Such parameters are used for open loop power control.
  • f(i) is a power control value of a subframe index i, determined by information included in a closed loop power control message received from the eNB and corresponds to a parameter for closed loop power control.
  • the biggest aim of open loop power control is to adjust the magnitude of transmission signal at the UE, that is, UL transmit power, to an appropriate level, by factoring a DL signal attenuation level estimated or calculated under the assumption that a UL signal attenuation level is identical to the DL signal attenuation level.
  • the proper magnitude of the transmission signal is determined by the parameter A(i).
  • Closed loop power control corresponding to the parameter f(i) of Equation 1 aims at compensating for inconsistency between UL signal attenuation and DL signal attenuation and channel fading varying with a faster time scale than average signal attenuation.
  • the open loop power control parameter is a parameter for controlling power in the manner of estimating DL signal attenuation from an eNB of a serving cell and compensating for the DL signal attenuation. For example, if DL signal attenuation becomes severe because a UE and an eNB to which the UE is connected become increasingly distant from one another, UL transmit power is controlled by further raising UL transmit power.
  • the closed loop power control parameter is used to control UL transmit power such that the eNB directly transmits information (control signals) necessary for control of UL transmit power.
  • the present invention provides a power control method of an SRS in the case in which DL CoMP based on the SRS is performed.
  • a situation in which a DL CoMP cell set is different from a UL CoMP cell set or a situation in which a CoMP signal is received on DL and a single-cell signal is transmitted on UL is described by way of example.
  • a parameter is adjusted through radio resource control (RRC) signaling such that the SRS is directed towards the macrocell at a specific period (e.g. specific subframes) and the SRS is directed towards the picocell at another period.
  • RRC radio resource control
  • This method may be regarded as a method for differently adjusting the parameter of the SRS, especially, the transmit power of the SRS, in linkage with a subframe index.
  • the same operation may be performed through an additional control signal rather than RRC signaling.

  • the SRS may be transmitted together with or separately from a PUSCH with different transmit power.
  • the case in which the parameter is configured such that the SRS and the PUSCH are directed towards the same cell does not cause a big problem because the transmit power of the PUSCH is not greatly different from that of the SRS.
  • the parameter is configured such that the SRS and the PUSCH are directed towards different cells, for example, if the SRS is directed towards the macrocell and the PUSCH is directed towards the picocell, there may be a big difference between the transmit power of the PUSCH and the transmit power of the SRS.
  • Such a considerable power difference between symbols has a problem with a high probability of distorting signals of adjacent symbols due to excessive transition time of transmit power at the interior of the UE.
  • a problem may be solved by not using the prior symbol and/or next symbol of an SRS symbol. For example, when a normal CP is applied, since an SRS is located on the 14th symbol, a PUSCH signal mapped to the 13th symbol may be rate-matched or a PUSCH signal mapped to the first symbol of the next subframe may be rate-matched.
  • a method in which a scheduler such as a serving cell does not schedule a subframe in which the SRS is transmitted and/or the next subframe for use of a PUSCH or a PUCCH may be considered during SRS transmission.

  • the specific DCI format is the same as a legacy DCI format, the content configuration and usage therebetween are different.
  • the DCI format includes even a DCI format including a UL grant as well as a DCI format including a DL grant.
  • TPC transmission power control
  • each TPC index is expressed as two bits and three indexes are allocated, information of a total of 6 bits is transmitted to a specific UE so that transmit power setting values of a wider range may be transmitted.
  • one TPC index expresses one value of [ ⁇ 1, 0, 1, 2]
  • +6 dB may be expressed through (+2, +2, +2) or ⁇ 3 dB may be expressed through ( ⁇ 1, ⁇ 1, ⁇ 1).
  • a range capable of expressing transmit power increases as compared with a conventional range from ⁇ 1 dB to 2 dB.
  • N TPC indexes may be allocated to a specific UE through pre-designated higher layer signaling.
  • TPC field included in the DCI format may be extended to 6 bits in order to achieve the same object, in this case, a new DCI format is needed.
  • an additional configuration may be needed so that such an operation affects only an SRS.
  • the UE may be implemented such that the third embodiment of the present invention is applied by a specific threshold value. For example, if the difference in transmit power between an SRS and a UL channel is K dB or more, an existing TPC value of 1 dB may be interpreted as a value of 5 dB.
  • transmission of a PUSCH and an SRS may be configured to suit a picocell first and the transmit power of the SRS directed towards a macrocell may be adjusted using an offset value.
  • the offset value or candidates of the offset value, for the SRS directed towards the macrocell may be set through a higher layer signal or a physical layer signal.
  • the transmit power of the SRS directed towards the picocell may be changed every subframe by TPC transmitted through a PDCCH.
  • the transmit power of the SRS directed towards the macrocell since the transmit power of the SRS directed towards the macrocell is configured by adding the offset to the transmit power of the SRS directed towards the picocell, the transmit power of the SRS directed towards the macrocell may be changed every subframe.
  • the offset value may be semi-statically determined based on candidates of an offset value set using a higher layer signal.
  • an offset value suitable for each SRS may be pre-signaled using an RRC signal and the offset value may be selected dynamically, that is, in the unit of subframes.
  • the dynamic change of the transmit power offset value of the SRS is preferably performed using the PDCCH.
  • the offset value may be indicated using a grant for triggering an aperiodic SRS. For example, if a TPC value of (12, 10, 8, 1) is signaled through an RRC signal, an offset value for the SRS directed towards the macrocell may be selected as the grant for triggering the aperiodic SRS.
  • the transmit power offset for a PUSCH directed towards the picocell may be configured to determine the transmit power of the SRS directed towards the picocell based on the RRC signal, and an additionally signaled transmit power offset may be configured to be used for the SRS directed towards the macrocell.
  • an indication as to whether to use the additionally signaled transmit power offset may be regarded as being achieved by a PDCCH, more specifically, by the grant for triggering the aperiodic SRS transmitted through the PDCCH.
  • a TPC field included in the grant for triggering the aperiodic SRS may be used for the indication of the offset value.
  • the existing TPC field of the grant for triggering the aperiodic SRS may be used to select one of a plurality of transmit power offset values unlike an original purpose.
  • a 1-bit TPC field may be used to indicate one of two transmit power offsets.
  • a 2-bit TPC field may be used to indicate one of more transmit power offsets.
  • one transmit power offset (i.e. one of the three allocated transmit power offsets) to be used by the SRS directed towards the macrocell may be signaled using the TPC field of the grant for triggering the aperiodic SRS.
  • one bit may be used for existing TPC and only the other one bit may be used to select the transmit power offset. That is, some bits may be used to maintain an existing usage and the other bits may be used to select the transmit power offset.
  • a location at which a PUSCH/PUCCH is received may not be the same as a location at which an SRS is received.
  • a UE may use a result measured based on a location at which a corresponding channel is received as pathloss, which is a criterion for performing open loop power control. That is, since a PUSCH is to be received by a neighbor picocell, power control of the PUSCH is performed based on pathloss from the picocell. On the other hand, since an SRS is to be received by a distant macrocell, power control of the SRS may be performed based on pathloss from the macrocell. Additionally, the UE may receive TPC commands corresponding to the PUSCH and the SRS and perform independent power control to raise or lower the transmit powers of the PUSCH and the SRS.
  • the transmit powers of the two UL channels are separately controlled, the difference between the transmit powers of the two channels may significantly increase and, thus, two output power levels cannot be stably maintained while the UE uses successive symbols.
  • an accumulation value of the TPC commands or a pathloss estimate from each reception point are parameters known only to the UE, an eNB is unable to know the magnitude of the difference between the transmit powers of the two channels.
  • the transmit powers of the two channels may exceed levels capable of maintaining a stable operation as the result of controlling the transmit powers of the two channels by the eNB.
  • the present invention additionally proposes a series of schemes capable of avoiding such a situation while minimizing a negative effect on UL transmission of the UE.
  • the UE performed transmit power control of the SRS according to a TPC command.
  • the UE transmits the PUSCH/PUCCH first according to the TPC command and transmits the SRS next with a readjusted transmit power of an operable level.
  • the UE may inform the eNB of information about the transmit power of the SRS, which can be a maximum transmit power while maintaining the transmit power of the PUCCH/PUSCH of a current level, in order to aid in proper TPC of the eNB.
  • the UE may report as to how much transmit power can be increased from the transmit power of the SRS of a current level (or from the latest transmitted power of the SRS) while transmitting the PUCCH/PUSCH at a current level.
  • Such information may be an average value of transmit powers for operations which are generated/has been generated over a plurality of time/frequency regions or may be a value for an instantaneous operation generated in a specific time/frequency region.
  • the UE since the transmit power of the PUCCH/PUSCH is affected by the size of transmission bits or the number of allocated RBs as well as by a TPC command or pathloss, the UE may determine the transmit power of the PUCCH/PUSCH of a current level under the assumption of the size of bits and/or the number of RBs which are referred to upon performing such reporting.
  • the size of bits and the number of RBs may be a predetermined value or a value transmitted by the eNB through a higher layer signal.
  • the eNB may use the information to discern the difference in transmit power between the PUCCH/PUSCH and the SRS and determine as to how much the UE can raise the transmit power of the SRS. Then, the eNB may perform a proper operation according to the information.
  • the eNB may perform an operation of reducing the difference in transmit power between the two signals by allocating more RBs to the PUSCH at a time point near SRS transmission or perform an operation of not scheduling the PUCCH/PUSCH at a time point near SRS transmission.
  • an SRS directed towards a macrocell is transmitted with a high power
  • an SRS directed towards a picocell transmitted with a relatively low power is significantly affected by the SRS directed towards the macrocell.
  • the simplest solution of the above problem is that the SRS directed towards the macrocell (or an SRS having a very big difference in transmit power with an already transmitted SRS so as not to be controlled by a conventional transmit power control scheme) and the SRS directed towards the picocell (or an SRS having a transmit power difference with the already transmitted SRS so as to be controlled by the conventional transmit power control scheme) are not simultaneously transmitted in the same subframe.
  • the sixth embodiment of the present invention proposes a method for controlling the transmit power of the SRS based on interference over thermal noise (IoT) at a receiving device. That is, if interference exceeding an IoT threshold value, incapable of being endured by the picocell, is sensed, the picocell may request that the macro cell perform power control for the SRS directed towards the macrocell by transmitting related information to the macrocell (X2 signaling). It is desirable that the microcell transmit a response as to whether the microcell can perform power control or information related to the response to the picocell. In this way, an operation for adjusting an IoT level by exchanging information between the macrocell and the picocell in a DL CoMP scheme or similar situation.
  • IoT interference over thermal noise
  • a method for signaling a UE-specific threshold value associated with a power difference may be considered. Obviously, the same threshold value may be configured for all UEs. Then, if the difference in transmit power between a PUSCH and an SRS, transmitted by the UE, is above a pre-designated value, the above proposed method is performed.
  • a different threshold value per channel may be configured such as a threshold value for the ratio of the transmit power of the PUSCH to the transmit power of the SRS or a threshold value for the ratio of the transmit power of the PUCCH to the transmit power of the PUSCH.
  • the UE may transmit the SRS by applying the embodiments of the present invention because the transmit power difference exceeds 10 dB.
  • the transmit power of the SRS may be controlled by transmitting newly defined DL control information while transmitting the SRS using a special subframe and this operation may be triggered based on the above-described threshold value.
